There was scarcity of jurors in the
district court yesterday afternoon, and
during the time there was nothing to do
the Judges and lawyers sat around and
discussed various matters. Il remem-
ber," remarked one lawyer, ''when

Deputy Sheriff Eye was pleasantly
surprised Friday fternoon by visit
from several female members of the
Salvation army. who wanted to go in
the Jail and sing to the prisoners. The
kind-hearted deputy had some regard

hours, sadly shook his head.
Since the court house grounds have
been soddcd it is peculiar how many
men want to walk on the grass.
Persons who always went around by
way of the sidewalks now want to 90

There is hotel up on Nicollet avenue
which is causing the police considerable
annoyance. If there is a disturbance
on the street within four or five
blocks of the place, some one at the
house calls up police headquarters and

f0w evenings ago there was a fire
three blocks away and after the en-
gines had returned from it some ge-
MUS at the hotel called police and
wanted to know if they were aware
that there had been fire. The tele-
phone had not grown cold before an
other call from the same place, and this
time some brilliant individual asked
that an officer be sent there, as there
might be another fire.
The p. III. G-bb-ns editor of the
Evening Journal has recovered from
his illness. Thursday evening he men

record.
The short line trains should get few
pointers from the motor line on speed.
Between Twenty-siXth street and the

Health Officer Kilvington is going to

1t was enormously stated at Thurs
day nights meeting on Bridge square

force in the Tenth ward. This is mis-
take. The speaker undoubtedly meant
the Eighth ward.
When they examined Tom Mea for
the meat inspect0rShip the other day he
got into learned discussion with the
veterinary surgeon, and it looked as
though he was going to examine the
board, whereupOn Aid. Clark left the
room rather than show his ignorance.
The request of the &. A. r. veter-
named logan Park" after Gen. John
A. Logan, is happy one. No hero of
the war was so generally beloved while
living and revered when dead in the
Northwest.
There is show of holy horror on the
part of the old members of the park
commission at the appearance of the
monster Partizanship. Heretofore
there has never been any partizanship
in the bOard-it has been Republican
ism. The story of the man who wanted

Deputy Sheriff Callahan has just pur-
chased a new buggy-a sort of single

to go up town in hurry, and hunting
up Callahan, asked him if he would
take him up. Cert" answered the
The lawyer followed him, but backed

was no acrobat, and did not like to hang
on behind.
1t is to be hoped that the Ev ening
Journal will be able before long to i'm
press the fact fully upon the public
mind that it recently said something
about Wilbur f. Steele, which, up to
